Crochet Spiral Granny Square WRITTEN PATTERN

USA STITCH TERMS

Hook Size(s): according to your yarn

Abbreviations:

·       Ch = Chain

·       Inc = Increase

·       SC = Single crochet

·       HDC = Half double crochet

·       DC = Double crochet

·       TR = Treble crochet

·       Rep = Repeat

·       St = Stitch

·       Ch sp = Chain space

Standing Single Crochet: Insert your hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop so that there are two loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through to complete a single crochet stitch.

You can make these squares with 4 separate colours OR alternatively, if making 2 coloured spirals, you will need 2 balls of each colour.

For example, for my black and white sprials, I used this sequence:

Colour A: Black (1st ball of yarn)

Colour B: White (1st ball of yarn)

Colour C: Black (2nd ball of yarn)

Colour D: White (2nd ball of yarn)

I then alternated whether the spiral squares had either white or black border rounds.

Pattern for Square:
When switching between the colours, you will pull up a large loop to make sure the stitch doesn’t come undone while you’re working with the next colour.
